hey everyone.

Currently running EVGA Dual Classified GTX780
I have 2 Asus VG248QE's setup and Want to play most of my games like watch dogs titanfall CS:GO in fullscreen on the main monitor, and use something like displayfusion which i have paid for to keep the game from minimizing or doing anything at all when i mouse over to my second display. I tried to set this up in displayfusion with a window function to no avail on TitanFall.

I did get it to work with putting a command line argument into the origin game: -novid -noborder -windowed

but I get this weird border that creeps into my other screen, not that bad but kinda annoying - http://imgur.com/kRA1eZv.

How do I get displayfusion to make this happen. I just want to be able to hit some hot keys or mouse over to the other screen and not minimize the game at all, then go back in and itll hook my mouse back into the game (maybe a hotkey to release the mouse from game, go to second screen and not minimize game on primary when I click into secondary).

Thanks for any help!!!

I hope you only got the 30day free trial version.

This should happen without any problems using Windows Display Settings.

Contact displayfusion to get help.

how do you mean, ive tried every setting. If the game goes into fullscreen on my primary and I move my mouse to my secondary (which it doesnt allow me to even do in fullscreen) it minimizes the game.

any other options?? I thought there were settings within windows 8 or displayfusion that will allow me to act almost liker a Virtual machine and key my mouse out of the display and move to next display without the primary minimizing the game once I click onto secondary display

I've found it kinda depends on how the game handles things, some remain on the screen when you alt-tab out of them, some go black, and some minimize themselves. I've found that running in window'd mode generally keeps them from minimizing themselves when you alt tab out of them, you really shouldn't need an additional program to accomplish what you are trying to do. It takes a bit of futzing about but you should be able to get most games to behave in an acceptable manner when you alt tab out of them. I'm sure there are solutions for each game you are having issues with in various places on the internet.
